Billionaire Leon Cooperman is retired but is still investing. (Just like plenty of other retirees! Once you retire, you might have several decades ahead of you, so keeping at least a portion of your portfolio in stocks makes sense.)
Those who follow billionaires and their investments may be curious about where Mr. Cooperman has parked his money. It's easy to find answers at sites such as WhaleWisdom.com, where I looked up Cooperman's holdings.
Here are his recent top five holdings:
1. Mr. Cooper Group
The Mr. Cooper Group traces its roots way back to 1889 and is a specialist in home loan services. With a recent market value of nearly $6.6 billion, it has averaged impressive annualized gains of 14.8% over the past 15 years.
2. Vertiv Holdings
